West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee declared the termination of the Trinamool Congress's alliance with Congress, announcing they will contest all 42 Lok Sabha seats in Bengal independently. The rift over seat-sharing escalated in the past two months, exacerbated by Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury's criticisms. Banerjee accused Congress of rejecting seat-sharing proposals and emphasized the state unit's uneasy relationship with TMC. The breaking point came a day before Rahul Gandhi's 'Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra.' Despite attempts at reconciliation, the alliance collapse signals a significant shift in West Bengal's political dynamics ahead of the 2024 elections.
